ISLAMABAD: The Higher Education Commission (HEC) on Monday issued an alert for students advising students not to take admission in affiliated colleges or institutions offering admission to PhD and MS/MPhil/equivalent programmes.
“It is for the information of the public that affiliated college institutions are not permitted to offer PhD and MS/MPhil or equivalent programmes,” the HEC said.
It advised students not to take admission in any program in affiliated colleges/institutions, as the resultant degree would not be recognized and certified by HEC.
The commission also directed the institutes not to advertise admission as any such action is liable to proceed as per law.
